“The practice of violence, like all action, changes the world, but the most probable change is a more violent world.”
— Hannah Arendt
Simplified Meaning:
When people use violence, it impacts the world around them and usually leads to more violence. Imagine two kids at school. One child hits the other, and then the other child hits back. This can quickly turn into a bigger fight with more kids joining in. Just like in this example, when people or groups use violence to solve problems, it often leads to more fighting and more harm, rather than solving anything. Over time, this can make the community, or even the whole world, more dangerous and filled with anger. If instead, people talked out their problems and worked together peacefully, it could lead to a calmer and safer world.
